§ Our Motto

'If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.?--Martin Luther

Rosie Gets News Job

Rosie O’Donnell is leaving “The View.” She has been unable to come to terms with ABC. Rumor has it that she will be moving to CBS to take the slot currently held by Katie Couric.

Veteran CBS reporter and former news anchor Dan Rather praised the move, “Rosie is like a bulldog. She will follow a story wherever it takes her and leave no Bush unwatered. She has good instincts and knows that the Catholics and Republicans are the cause of all our country’s ills. Her pursuit of the truth will put CBS on the cutting edge of journalism and bring a dignity to CBS News that it has been lacking since my retirement. She will be an excellent replacement as news anchor.”

Premature Baby Discarded on Sidewalk

From the most Liberal city in America comes the story of the woman had the baby on the street corner and without so much as a second thought, she left him alive right where he came out and continued walking down the street.

(AP) SAN FRANCISCO A woman who allegedly walked away from her baby boy after giving birth to him on a street corner was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, police said.

Police found the mother two blocks away Sunday night after a security guard spotted her delivering the baby and called 911, police Capt. Al Casciato said.

“She denied having a baby, but her clothing was soaked in blood,” Casciato said.

The 5-pound, 12-ounce baby boy was taken to San Francisco General Hospital and placed in the custody of Child Protective Services.

Police had to restrain the woman who appeared to be suffering from mental illness, Casciato said.

Republican Chair Caught Stealing

Finally this has gone public. Our local Republican Central Committee has been covering this up for several months. It’s unfortunate that the liberal media has to break the story because we can’t police ourselves.

The local Chair of the county party helped herself to over $35,000 and others in the party covered it up. The story can be found at Sacramento Bee Newspaper (registration is required).

The resignation of former Sacramento County Republican Party Chairwoman Donna Schalansky has become the flash point in an internal party battle that centers on whether thousands of dollars of reimbursements she received were in violation of state law.

State law requires information about “third-party payees” be disclosed for reimbursements of $500 or more. But financial disclosure forms filed with the secretary of state’s office show Schalansky received 29 payments of $500 or more—a total of $35,922—between 2003 and 2006 without receipts showing who received the payments for which she was reimbursed.

Thus far no audit has been done and none is schedule. Members are not being allowed to see the books and no complete treasurer reports are being given out at the meeting. I have it on good authority that others are involved and that this may involve the state party as well.

Virginia Tech Questions

There are many questions that remain unanswered about the shooting yesterday at Virginia Tech. Trying to find a rational motive is not among them.

What proof is there that both campus shootings are related?
Why did we know who most of the 9/11 hijackers were before the towers fell and it took over 24 hours before any information was released about the shooter?
Why did nobody fight this guy or try to stop him? (Todd Beamer and the American Spirit must not be lived or taught at this school.)
Isn’t it remarkable that even when reloading no one tried to stop him?
Where were the police?
Why doesn’t anyone bring up Beslan when talking about the number of dead and wounded? (F.Y.I. Beslan had over ten times as many dead)
Why is the only answer offered by Liberals to disarm the innocent and make it even harder to fight back?

Hitler in Springtime

Earth Day is the pagans’ alternative to the Christian celebration of Easter. In fact I call it Pagan Holy Week. The environmental religion of “Mother Earth” is probably at its greatest peak of popularity since the early days of Saint Patrick.

As part of this rise in worshipping the creation instead of the Creator, adherents to this viewpoint are trying to reexamine history to gauge the impact of mankind on their blessed deity. The newest revision of history in light of the supremacy of the environment is a tome called “How Green Were the Nazis? Nature, Environment and Nation in the Third Reich.”

The Nazis created nature preserves, contemplated sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature. How Green Were the Nazis? is the first book to examine the ideology and practice of environmental protection in Nazi Germany. Environmentalists and conservationists in Germany welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime with open arms, for the most part, and hoped that it would bring about legal and institutional changes.

Alex Beam, a writer for the Boston Globe, has written a review of the book with all the seriousness that such a topic richly deserves.

It is undeniably true that Adolf and his crew were A-number-one landscape-impacters. London got plenty impacted by the Nazis’ environmental outreach program, as did cities like Leningrad, Stalingrad, Dresden, and Berlin. According to this book, the Nazis had big plans for spreading their green ideology eastward into Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. “In the vast territories conquered in the east . . . they saw the opportunity to create a better, greener, future, combining racist and environmental thinking,” the authors write. How sad that the eastern European Jews didn’t go along with the program! What soreheads.

It’s incredible that anyone would actually publish sentences like these: “The Nazis, however, were not interested in turning Germany into a tree farm”; “World War II was the opportunity that many modernist landscape architects had been waiting for”; or, “In the end, everyone . . . agreed that it was the wrong moment to embark on any projects with organic farming.”

Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees.

To be fair, I did learn a lot. I already knew that Hitler was a vegetarian with a taste for nonalcoholic beer, but I didn’t know that SS boss Heinrich Himmler also eschewed meat or that Hermann Goering had a “sincere interest in forest conservation.” Nazi party secretary Rudolf Hess was a devotee of organic gardening. Did you know that there was an organic herb garden at Dachau? Marvelous! It’s depressing how many historians insist on dwelling on the negatives.

Oh, for those for you that don’t see the humor in the title it is a combination of the fictional play Springtime for Hitler from Mel Brooks’ Producers and Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, one of the first environmental propaganda books.

Microsoft Update Creates Error

This update was marked as Critical and was released early just to get it in circulation. Unfortunately it created a .dll conflict error.

RTHDCPL.EXE – Illegal System DLL Relocation
The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL C:\system32\HHCTRL.OXC occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.

In all my years of computing I have never before seen that error. I restored my system to an earlier date and again loaded the update with the same results. I searched in vain on the Microsoft website to find an explanation for this error. While the computer seemed to perform correctly, I wanted to be sure my system was ok.

I looked up all the .dll files mentioned in the error message and found that the one triggering the error was a RealTek audio driver. I went to the RealTek site and downloaded their HD audio update and I no longer get the error message.

Why there was conflict between Microsoft and RealTek I don’t know but I hope the security update was really that important.

UPDATE
After this blog was posted, Microsoft released a patch.

Update for Windows XP (KB935448)
Date last published: 4/10/2007
Download size: 702 KB
Install this update to resolve an issue where certain third-party applications may not start, and you receive an error message: “Illegal System DLL Relocation” after you install security update KB925902 (MS07-017). After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Tom Sullivan Rights Wrong

In the early AM hours of the morning, Sou Saechinn was getting ready for work when he heard something outside. He looked out the window, and saw three people trying to break into his car. Saechinn came out side shot at the trio, hitting one in the chest.

If I caught a person in my yard trying to steal my car, I would shoot him too.

I have been a victim of auto theft and auto burglary. This kind of crime is an assault upon my family and myself. Besides the sense of violation that you go through after being attacked on your private property, it is also an assault upon your economic livelihood. Without a car, you can’t get to work. If you can’t work, you can’t take care of your family.

Furthermore, the police won’t do anything. All they do is arrest a man for doing the job the police refuse to do. Protecting his life and property. That’s criminal!

Mr. Saechinn’s act of self-defense is Constitutional under the Second Amendment. If you want a case to argue Original Intent this is the one. Furthermore, this action is justified on biblical grounds. The criminals not only violated the prohibition on stealing but also the injunction on coveting.
